That's quite a racket some missionaries and evangelists have got. Pretty much go to the same church once every five years or so and essentially preach the same message. I didn't have a problem so much with the content of the message. However, I was profoundly repulsed by the speaker for the second time essentially having those that would stand against the Anti-Christ to come forward, with those remaining in the pews made to look like they were closet devil worshipers. Creeped out by the Jonestown vibe given off by such manipulative histrionics, as the easily controllable dutifully went forward, as with the last time this speaker was at church, I got up and walked out. It was too bad I could not muster the courage to say “Hail Satan!” if that is the kind of impression and suspicion this revivalist seems to employ as a regular part of his homiletical repertoire. If one is to be so concerned about the Anti-Christ, isn't conditioning people to comply with totalitarian authorities without question part of readying the world for that tyrant's takeover?

Regarding this “Who Do You Think You Are” genealogy program. You yourself are not guilty if your ancestors held slaves. Likewise, it says nothing of your own goodness in terms of the race issue if your ancestors were involved with the abolition movement.

If people feel led to walk forward in church to get their lives right with God, they should be encouraged to do so. However, when you rhetorically manipulate a congregation in such a way where those not yielding to the invitation of the message are the ones remaining in the pews, the homilist has crossed a line of propriety. Is the speaker so naive that he does not realize that most are coming forward merely out of a compulsion towards group conformity rather from out of a sense of sincere religious devotion?

Father Jonathan Morris said that discussing the possibility of human/robot marriage on the Greg Gutfeld Show had to be the low point of his career. But shouldn't he consider the opportunity to be on the cutting edge of moral reflection? Just a few years ago, didn't gay marriage seem like a similar kind of impossibility?

On “The Five”, Geraldo claimed Donald Trump's proposal to deport the illegal alien families of American born children would be inhumane. Geraldo then invoked the image of Elian Gonzalez being apprehended by federal agents. Did he get as worked up regarding the Branch Davidian children or the family of Randy Weaver? Does he speak out as vigorously against crimes committed by the illegal aliens?

Establishment shill Dana Perino insisted that Trump's proposal to deport illegal families would be impractical. Had she been in the Poland of the 1940's, she would have probably said the same thing about repelling the Wehrmacht. Should the Red Chinese land troops in her lily White native Wyoming, would she be singing the same tune?

Presidential candidate John Kaisch says it is inhumane to deport illegal alien families. One must presume that there was a time when John Kaisch did not own any particular domiciles that he does now. When he returns home, would it be inhumane for him to repel from his premises someone that has taken up residence during his absence because these holdings were at one time not his? And when Chinese invasion forces one day land on America's shores, will it be inhumane to repel them from our territories as well? While we are at it, maybe Kasich can call for the repeal of the Third Amendment if it is inhumane to deny anyone access to your living quarters. Maybe every American ought to be compelled to take in foreign borders who will proceed to soil the property beyond repair.

Filling in for Mark Levin, Dan Bongino droned on and one about privatizing Social Security. Fine and dandy. But what would be done to protect the elderly from falling into destitution and starvation should the economy tank even further?

When asked if the Clinton server had been wiped, Hillary responded, “What? Like with a cloth or something?” The presidential candidate must have thought that the reporter was inquiring as to Bill's procedure to clean up his genetic residue after he has had his way with the hired help.

Contrary to Greg Gutfeld, prolifers are not morally obligated to allow anchorbabies to remain here. If one country is no better than any other as insisted by the cultural relativists, why can't families remained unified on the other side of the border? Especially in light of how Evangelicals such as Dr. Dobson and Russell Moore attempting to ingratiate themselves with Hispanosupremacist subversives constantly harp the propaganda regarding how family-oriented Mexican culture is.

The Frederick County Council voted to repeal a law that made English the jurisdiction's official language. Supporters applauding this call for linguistic surrender insisted that the legislation authorizing an explicit elocutionary preference sent the wrong message. Apparently the only acceptable message in the postmodern era is that we despise the United States in general and White America in particular to such an extent that we will do everything within our power to bring about our own social demise and eventual cultural destruction.

The children born to illegal aliens violating our borders can be allowed to remain as U.S. citizens. However, it does not follow that the parents of such children should be allowed to remain here. If they desire to remain with the child, they can return with the child to the family's country of origin. If they desire the child to remain in the United States, they may be allowed to surrender the child to a loving American family and sever any future claims to the child.

If governments are prepared to destroy property and ruin lives to punish businesses refusing to comply with the tyranny of sodomite matrimony, why is it an outrage to deport illegal alien families?

On an episode of American Pickers, the itinerant scroungers bartered with someone with Iron Eyes Cody memorabilia. Given that he was Italian rather than American Indian, doesn't that make him the Rachel Dolezal or Shaun King of his day?

A poll asks do you approve of Ted Cruz calling Mitch McConnell a liar on the floor of the Senate? If the shoe fits, why not? One of the reasons the country is in the mess that it is that so many of these politicians will drone on and on within the halls of the legislature employing faux rhetoric such as “My good colleague from the state of such and such.” Then afterwards they will go get liquored up together and even bed the same whore with each other's compliments.

Shouldn't tolerancemongers be even more outraged at Oprah Winfrey for financing an Afrosupremacist scholarship rather than at a White dude attempting to take advantage of these funds by passing himself off as Black? Some will respond that Oprah Winfrey should be allowed to bestow her funds on anyone she desires for the purposes of furthering someone's education. Would those making such broadminded pronouncements in favor of individual liberty maintain that same position if Pat Buchanan endowed a similar scholarship for which only non-Jewish Caucasians would be eligible? And if we are to be psychologically conditioned to reflexively respond that race does not exist, on what grounds one condemn someone for claiming to be something that does not exist?If someone claimed that they were Kryptonian, it's doubtful the story would make it onto the nightly news unless in a deluded state they lept from a tall building in a single bound only to go splat on the concrete below.

Isn't saying one is not going to run a negative campaign itself a statement of negativity?

Why are Americans wanting to send anchor babies back to their family's country of origin meanspirited but not the Mexicans unwilling to open their borders and public treasury to the foreign born.

If convicted of manslaughter, since he still has a penis, will BRUCE Jenner be tossed in the ladies or gents slammer?

If someone is going to publicly comment that they had a good vacation and recommended the destination but weren't going to tell the audience where they had been but would only reveal such in private conversation if asked, that must have been one humdinger of a nudist beach or kinky sex club.

In reference to an upcoming international supper, a pastor remarked that he was tired of spaghetti and meatballs offered during such contrived celebrations. Instead, he insisted upon a real international experience. Does that mean someone will be bringing goat eyeballs, dysentery, and a stomach pump? In encouragement of his request, the pastor remarked how he often brags to others regarding the international nature of his congregation. This is worthy of a few observations. First, isn't to invite parishioners to bring a dish reflective of their heritage and then to badmouth spaghetti from the pulpit a denigration of those of Italian heritage? Secondly, if we are to hold to the principle that individuals are to be judged not by the color of their skin but rather by the content of their character, isn't it as much of a sin for a pastor to brag how international his congregation is as it would be for a minister from the deep south to celebrate that his congregation was all White? Thirdly, does a smattering of families from perhaps three or four other countries constitute an international congregation? For despite a few cultural differences, don't most American Blacks eat nearly the same foods as American Whites? Interesting how American food isn't good enough for a church dinner but American money is certainly demanded for the collection plate.

If a pastor applauds from the pulpit the remarks of Pittsburgh Steeler James Harrison that sometimes doing one's best still isn't good enough for recognition, perhaps the ongoing decline in the offering is apparently a reflection of that universal truth.

If it is improper for a Christian to judge the validity or depth of another Christian's faith on the basis of certain behaviors or actions, why doesn't this principle apply to a woman that wears otherwise modest pants?

If one is going to criticize Christians critical of other Christians, why would one identify quite explicitly with the Christian Independent Fundamentalist movement?

If a White gunman had murdered two Black broadcasters on live TV, wouldn't the horrific deed have been categorized as a hate crime by now?

In light of the broadcasters murdered on live TV, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe observed that there is too much gun violence in America. But as in the case of this particular gunman, the vast majority of these killers have more in common politically with the Governor than with either the NRA or the Tea Party movement.

If the Pope is going to badmouth the United States for widespread use of air conditioning, does he intend to level similar criticism against a Spanish festival where the main event is a massive tomato fight?

In his book “Blinded By Might”, columnist Cal Thomas suggested that funds spent in pursuit of political agendas should instead be directed towards causes more directly related to the Gospel and criticized how direct fund raising appeals are largely negative in tone. Then why is he now shilling for a Media Research Center cruise to the Caribbean? Why are elites such as himself allowed to wallow in ostentatious luxury while they instruct the rest of us how to allocate every spare dime?

Donald Trump is correct that the on air murder of two broadcasters is not about guns. But shouldn't Donald Trump be among the last to call for increased scrutiny of those society deems as mentally imbalanced?

Wanting to continue to make whoopee with his foreign-born wife, Jeb Bush insists that journalists deserve more dignity than what Donald Trump extended to Univision propagandist Jorge Ramos. What should happen now is for someone from a Tea Party news outlet or perhaps even Breitbart to go into a Jeb Bush press conference and to begin heckling or disrupting from the get go to see if they will be treated any better or if what Jeb is enunciating is merely a double standard favoring his fellow Hispanosupremacists.

By utilizing a formula that takes into consideration older poll results to determine who qualifies for a slot in the debate the network is to host, isn't CNN attempting to manipulate results in favor of establishmentarian elites?

A throng of Black Lives Matters malcontents disrupted an address by Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser. At this event, a number of crime fighting initiatives were announced. Among those that sparked these protests were proposals to deploy more police officers on the streets and to search for prohibited firearms in the homes of convicts on parole. This is how this translates for those that adhere to common sense or at least a limited degree of logic. Any other time, these subversives want guns taken away from law abiding citizens. However, according to this civic disruption, firearms apparently ought to remain in the hands of those with criminal records that have proven themselves incapable of handling this constitutional responsibility so that they may continue to victimize innocent citizens.

An Associated Press article datelined Beijing described how the world
fell into a state of shocked lamentation over the gun violence and
racism believed to plague the Untied States in light of the horrific
Charleston Church Massacre.

A number of the bewildered questioned how a liberty such as the right to
bear arms as enshrined by the Second Amendment could be allowed in the
U.S. Constitution. Precisely to serve as a protection and bulwark
against the systematic execution of dissidents as has transpired in the
People's Republic of China throughout that regime's history.

The Mexican newspaper La Jornada was quoted as saying that the United
States has become a “structurally violent state where force is
frequently used domestically and internationally to resolve
differences.” Mind you, Mexico is a Latin American country where it is
not uncommon for narcoterrorists to role decapitated heads out onto
disco dance floors in order to intimidate their opponents.

Law enforcement in that corrupt land are little better. Often, there,
so-called public safety officers sexually brutalize immigrants from
other nations while the leadership of this neighbor to our south
lectures us as to why we are to lavish upon the riffraff fleeing that
failed state with the proverbial three hots and a cot while they await
their single family split-level which they will proceed to stuff to the
rafters with half the population of their native village.

And speaking of severed heads, dead beats from the Islamic world also
proceeded to weigh in on the Charleston Church shooting as if violence
never breaks out in regions where the majority of the population
embraces that particular errant religion.

One Indonesian intellectual bemoaned that the tragedy shocked many. But
more so than the decapitation and ghastly execution videos perfected by
Al Qada and now the organization's ISIS spin off as a propaganda
technique?

The article went on to say, “In Britain, the attack reinforced the view
that America has too many guns and too many racists” and “the obscene
proliferation of guns only magnifies tragedies.”

For you see, the residents of Britain tend to be a bit old fashioned
when they want to kill someone for harboring beliefs with which they
disagree. They just grab personnel from a nearby military base and
knife them along the side of the road as they proceed to videotape a
pronouncement drenched in their victim's blood. This must be considered
across the pond the epitome of artisinal craftsmanship and civility.

Of the shootings, an interviewed Japanese patent attorney reflected,
“Racially motivated killings are simply something the Japanese as a
people cannot understand.” As an ethnicity inclined towards economics
and efficiency, one supposes so. After all, why outrightly murder
someone when they can make perfectly acceptable sex slaves first, a fate
inflicted upon numerous Koreans forced to serve as “comfort women”.

Critics will respond that that atrocity was decades ago. Indeed it was.
Just as were the shortcomings that assorted minority front groups and
agitators continue to harp upon no matter how many set asiides and
entitlement programs are lavished upon them.

Of the shooting, a Philippine human rights activist said, “That would be
no different from a suicide bomber. For a jihadist says, 'I will be
with Allah if I do that.' The other says, 'I am proving white supremacy
here'.”

That comparison depends upon how you look at it.

The comparison between the jihadist and mass murderer Dylan Roof is
accurate from the standpoint of each of these terrorists having embraced
false belief systems inspiring each adherent to perpetrate the vilest
of acts violating God's eternal absolutes in the pursuit of a Satanic
objective. However, there are also differences that the astute observer
of this kind of phenomena must be diligent to point out.

Across America, even those willing to take a stand on behalf of the
Confederate flag (despite the almost dictatorial opposition galvanized
against this symbol of Southern heritage) are repulsed and sickened by
the actions of human pus wad Dylan Roof. If anything, these “rednecks”
and “hayseeds” are among the few trodding this earth consistent in their
call to apply the death penalty against anyone that takes an innocent
human life.

However, things are markedly different in the Muslim world. There, on
9/11, exuberant Palestinians took to the streets in celebration. The
way children were given candy to commemorate the event brings to mind
the prophecy in the Book of Revelation when gifts will be exchanged to
celebrate the Anti-Christ executing the Two Witnesses whose bodies will
lie in the streets of Jerusalem until they are risen from the dead for
all the world to see.

To his credit, one Indonesian intellectual said, “Terrorism and
radicalism can appear in every strata of society under various guises
and in the name of ethnicity, religion and race.”

Those pulling the trigger or lighting the fuse to harm the body and
stoke the initial fear are obviously the most guilty in regards to this
profound variety of crime. However, the greater injury inflicted might
instead be by those attempting to capitalize on these tragedies to
manipulate those freedoms much easier to surrender than they will be to
back once the immediate danger has passed.

NFL linebacker James Harrison has confiscated his sons' peewee football league participation trophies.

He opposes the idea that someone should be recognized for just showing up.

In Harrison's estimation, special acknowledgment should only be earned for being the best.
Perhaps the winner indeed deserves a larger trophy.

But shouldn't those that just show up be extended some kind of tangible token of encouragement or appreciation?

After all, if the discouraged did not show up, would the league exist long enough to lavish accolades upon the victors?

As justification for his hardline parenting, Harrison invokes his own struggles to achieve success.
According to news reports of this story, he played for a season in NFL
Europe and was cut from the Baltimore Ravens before rising to prominence
as a Pittsburgh Steeler.

But even when his performance was less than excellent, did not Harrison receive payment for services rendered?

So why can't a participation trophy be thought of in that particular light?

James Harrison apparently has what it takes to rise to the pinnacle of the athletic world.

However, it seems he has not yet reached the level of balance necessary for similar accomplishments in the field of parenting.

Had he allowed his sons to retain the participation trophies, these
would have eventually been set aside as at best fondly remembered
mementos of childhood.

However, snatched as these now have been, the entire incident will
likely become one of those festering resentments that these children
will struggle with well into adulthood.

If Megyn Kelly is so outraged over something Donald Trump said about
women on his network television program, why does she work for Rupert
Murdoch who has allowed media companies under his corporate oversight to
produce some bawdy and demeaning entertainment regarding women over the
years and decades? For the longest time, Married With Children was Fox
Entertainment's signature program.

Regarding these women that Trump is accused of referring to as pigs and
dogs, perhaps shouldn't we be told who they are before passing judgment
as to the propriety of his remarks?

Filling in for Chris Plant, Steve Malzberg remarked that, because of his
debate performance, Rand Paul will only appeal to Rand Paul fanatics.
But what about the impression exuded by Chris Christie that would
flippantly abandon the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? How is it
fanatically to point out that certain figures have their hands in both
parties or that they are come-latelys to issues a number of the
candidates have been fighting against for decades?

It is a valid question. If Donald Trump has run a number of companies
into bankruptcy, why should the American voter be more confident in
allowing this billionaire to administer the nation's tottering finances?

Too bad elitist culture is not as outraged over the barrage of
commercials that constantly push feminine hygiene products (as well as
male erectile dysfunction cures while we are at it) in viewers faces as
it is over Donald Trump's allusion to feminine hygiene.

Of those sick and tired of Donald Trump constantly harping political
correctness when someone dares ask him something that he doesn't like,
maybe you now know how the rest of us feel about the excuse and threat
of racism beating us over the head all day long.

The power elite are intertwined at the highest levels to the point that
the boundaries between government, finance, and media are virtually
indistinguishable. That reality makes one wonder if Trump is being
opposed not because of the increasingly outrageous things to come out of
his mouth but rather for exposing a number of the attitudes that may be
allowed to slide by among the social engineering class if you have gobs
of money to gloss over your appallingly gruff edges. Just think.
Donald Trump at this point can merely shock. Many of the others in the
circles he already runs in hold the power to destroy lives.

Too bad the culture is not as outraged over Donald Trump's disregard for
private property as his remarks over immigrant vagrants and the female
reproductive tract.
One would think Donald Trump ought to be considered the perfect
candidate. Self-absorption equaling Obama's and a proclivity towards
debauchery matching Bill Clinton's.

In regards to Donald Trump. There hasn't been a presidential candidate
to drone on about themselves using first person pronouns since, well,
President Obama. At least Bob Dole had the decency to refer to himself
by his own full name.

Perhaps Trump would be better suited as a shock jock in the tradition of Don Imus rather than in elected office.

Perhaps Rand Paul will muster himself to seize the mantle of blunt spoken populism from Donald Trump.

The concern regarding Chris Christie is to what extent will he invoke
September 11th to cover over an appalling variety of Constitutional
deprivations.

Donald Trump reminds of George Wallace. There is a great deal of truth
to what he says. But upon further reflection, you are probably better
off settling for another candidate.

The Justice Department is considering a policy that might place those
accused of supporting ISIS in therapy rather than criminal detention.
Opponents insist aspiring terrorists deserve harsher punishment.
However, this should also raise concerns as it might lower the threshold
for taking into custody critics of the Obama regime motivated by what
secularist progressives would categorize as extremist political or
religious ideologies.

Chuck Schumer is celebrated in his opposition to the Iranian Nuclear
Deal as "the most prominent Jewish voice in the Senate". Does the media
gush as excitedly when a legislator takes a strong conservative
position based upon their Evangelicalism or Catholicism?

On Fox and Friends, Father Jonathan Morris criticized Republican
presidential candidate Ben Carson for suggesting that America's tax
system ought to be based on a flat tax system inspired by the Biblical
notion of the tithe. It was the priest's contention that one should not
base governmental policies and laws directly upon Biblical passages.
Then on what grounds as a Catholic does he then advocate pro-life
activism or even the pandering to immigrants that is beginning to take
root in denominations both Protestant and Catholic? If the Bible is to
provide little guidance in the sphere of government and society, should
the state decide to tax religious property, will this cleric rank among
the foremost in applauding such a fiscal decision?

A good laugh is being had that no one has ordered a sandwich full of
bologna called “The Trump” at a Washington Area diner. But if someone
had money to blow on a restaurant lunch, why would someone waste funds
on something as blah and mundane as bologna? At McDonald's, there is a
special of double cheeseburger and fries for $2.50. At Burger King, you
can often get two chicken sandwiches for $5.00. Both of those meals
are better than bologna and probably cheaper than a lunch at a greasy
spoon where they will probably toss a fit if you don't leave a tip.

Regarding the chorus “Sweet, Sweet Spirit”, how does one know that the
sweet expressions on each face are from the presence of the Lord? If
the Devil masquerades as an angel of light, what proof do we have that
the expression on someone's face isn't demoniacally inspired? Maybe
they are holding back a chuckle at a dirty joke that they have recalled.
Even more importantly, isn't it dangerous to judge an individual's
spiritual state on such a cosmetic basis? What if the person had a
scowl because their hemorrhoids were acting up? Shouldn't you just be
glad that the person showed up rather than give them guff about their
countenance appearing insufficiently Christian?

Praying for someone's physical needs is better than not praying for
someone at all. If a congregation is going to be chastised for praying
primarily for physical needs, isn't that edging dangerously close to
gnosticism? In whether to pray for the physical or the spiritual, does a
homiletical dichotomy of one or the other need to be imposed? Can't
one pray for the physical along with spiritual empowerment. It's a safe
assumption that the pulpiteer poo-pooing physical ailments on a given
Sunday likely isn't experiencing any or is secretly as high as a kite.

In a sermon condemning the exaltation of the individual over the group, a
pastor lamented the explosion of consumer choice that catered to the
satisfaction of particular needs. Would ministers arguing along such
lines prefer command economies where bureaucrats instead don't meet any
needs at all? In the study of such societies, one notices that such
regimes aren't all that big on religious liberty either.

In a sermon, a pastor went on to condemn individualism. Instead, the
minister extolled the virtue of conformity. Given that the church the
minister belonged to traces its heritage back to the Anabaptist
movement, will the pastor endorse the principle that led to the
persecution of his spiritual forefathers that the inhabitants of a
particular region should all belong to the spiritual confession decided
upon by the governing authorities?

An Anglican minister suggested that the success of a church can be
measured by comparing the number that attend the worship service with
the number participating in small groups. Small groups can be a
wonderful ecclesiastical supplement if the topics addressed are of
interest to an individual. You might be able to make the case that the
individual is compelled by Scripture to attend worship service.
However, there really isn't anything demanding a believer attend a
small group if there are none that interest a person. Some just aren't
inspired by the prospect of going to the dwellings of people that they
barely know for no purpose other than spilling one's guts to the group
in self-denunciation like in a prisoner of war camp.

On “The Kelly File”, Dana Parino suggested that Republican presidential
candidates should meet with the Black Lives Matter movement. While she
is at it, will she also counsel consultations with the Ku Klux Klan or
the Aryan Nation?

In sharing his experience regarding a mission's trip to Kenya, a
Nazarene pastor badmouthed the quality of fruit available in the United
States compared to that available in a tropical nation. I think I'd
rather have reliable electricity and indoor plumbing.

If Cuba is good enough to establish diplomatic relations with, shouldn't it be considered good enough for tourists to visit?

Given the number of steps involved, is it really all that much of a
putdown that someone had to study all night for a urine test?

A meme with text attributed to Jonathan Edwards reads in part, “If you
can preach Hell and the final judgment without lifting your voice and
without pleading, you sir, do not believe in Hell.” If we are obligated
to profess a predestinarian soteriology so thoroughgoing that there is
no room for individual choice in the matter of salvation if we do not
want our names smeared as heretics unworthy of basic constitutional
rights in the form of the New World Order advocated by certain Calvinist
sectarians, what does it matter if we mention Hell with either
considerable theatrics or more so in detached blase passing? Not a
single individual will end up in a region of the Afterlife other than
the one in which he was preselected to be. One does not plead with an
individual unless there is the possibility of the individual changing
his mind.

The Shriners have banned the Confederate Battle Flag as offensive. Will
related Luciferian secret societies also ban their homoerotic initiation
rituals as offensive? Some researchers insist that the distinctive
headgear of the Shriners known as a fez originates from Muslims dipping
their cranial coverings in Christian blood. If nothing else, the fez is
brimless so as to facilitate Islamic prayers. Should the secret
society ban this form of haberdashery as well?

In discussing how Christians grow over time, an Evangelical broadcaster
remarked that in going through some old books he came across a couple of
titles by Tony Campolo he had read about fifteen years ago.

The broadcaster confessed that, given what he knows of Campolo and the
Word of God today, he would probably no longer read anything by Campolo.

Most Christians grounded in the Word of God and sound theology realize
that Campolo is a borderline apostate if he hasn't already crossed over
the line altogether.

If someone wants to avoid Campolo's works, so be it.

That's one's right in a free society.

However, such a proclamation in such a manner as to create the
impression that no one ought to read these kinds of works under any
circumstances if they want to retain good standing as a member of the
broader conservative Evangelical community goes a bit overboard.

Regarding religious leftists such as Tony Campolo, should one decide to
read works by such an author, the discerning must remain cautious to
subtle error that says as much by what it does not say as by what it
does say.

In other words, sometimes you have got to read between the lines.

But unless we ourselves conduct our own research or, perhaps more
importantly are encouraged ourselves to do so, how can we be sure that
those stymieing individual reflection and curiosity aren't simply out to
control us for their own assorted ends?

The call to be like the Bereans requires nothing short of such sanctified suspicion on our own parts.

David Platt has been elected as the head of the Southern Baptist International Missions Board.

And with the level of blind devotion called for on the part of a number
of prominent Southern Baptist personalities, things are not going to end
well.

From a number of statements made by former Southern Baptist Convention
President and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary President Paige
Patterson, it is doubtful most Roman Catholics follow the Pope as
uncritically.

For example, Patterson issued an ultimatum of ten demands that Southern
Baptists are expected to abide by in relation to David Platt.

For example, obligation number four reads, “Recognition that there is
not a more important man in the world than the President of the
International Missions Board because of his potential to touch so many
lives...for God.”

In that position, Platt is essentially an administrator and bureaucrat.

Should the President of the United States be praised for the brave acts of the American soldier?

Then why praise Platt over the toils of the frontline missionary?

Another demand made by Patterson in his ultimatum is even more disturbing.

Demand number seven reads, “Willingness to do whatever Dr. Platt asks
that is not contrary to our deeply held convictions and is within our
power.”

Ladies and gentleman, feel free to listen to anything David Platt has to say.

However, in the final analysis, make up your own mind as to what you will do with what the Lord has given you.

You answer to the Lord Jesus Christ, not David Platt, the Southern Baptist Convention, or any other organized church body.

For while David Platt is essentially teaching that anyone responding
with anything less than a willingness to serve as canon fodder for God
(as He no doubt whispers in Pastor Platt's ear) is a urine deprived
excuse of a Christian, if Brother Patterson had had his way, the
seminary Patterson heads would have opened its doors to eventual
Islamist takeover.

Some will snap that these kinds of observations are inaccurate or over exaggerated.

However, nearly every cult tragedy or church abuse scandal began with
these kinds of claims and admonitions suggesting how some particular
leader was so far beyond the mere pewfillers in terms of spirituality
who were obligated to bow at the feet of the exalted guru.

My advice to you is that it might be best to avoid Kool Aid offered either by David Platt or his more enthusiastic supporters.

If a transgender person is mentally incapable of psychologically
adapting to the body into which they have been created, what makes one
think they can adapt to the traumas of military combat?

On an episode of his broadcast, Jim Bakker prophesied that this
would be the last Fourth of July as we know it. Given that every day is
composed of a unique set of contingencies and causalities, isn't that a
little vague to insist upon as a prophecy?

Jim Bakker's call to stockpile food in light of pending calamity
might seem more sincere if he wasn't the one selling the survival
rations. In the commercial, it is insinuated that, with these
provisions, the hoodwinked will be able to acquire enough to endure the
Tribulation. So will countermeasures be sold to protect against starved
zombie hordes and the Anti-Christ's electronic surveillance system
likely to be roving the planet at that time?

Apparently Kate Steinle did not look enough like Mooch Obama to merit the sympathies of the White House.

Tolerancemongers are calling for the removal of a statue honoring
the Confederacy in a park near the courthouse in Rockville, Maryland. It
is said that the memorial is no longer needed and that the COMMUNITY
should have a calm discussion to decide what should be done to resolve
the issue. That translates roughly as anyone holding to a position other
than the destruction of the monument is guilty of hatespeech and do not
possess any rights that ought to be respected in a regime valuing
diversity above all else. If history is no longer to be a reflection of
what happened from a variety of perspectives but rather consist solely
of social utilitarian propaganda that furthers the agenda of a
prevailing elite, what is to prevent the arrival of a day when Black
History Month would no longer be appropriate?

It is supposedly breaking news that a Univision poll (the network
that is to illegal aliens what Al Jazera is to jihadist sympathizers)
that the majority of Hispanics don't like Trump. And what about polls of
Whites in traditionally conservative areas?

In conclusion of Ramadan, President Obama praised Muslims that used
the celebration to draw closer to God. This was the very same President
that at one time condemned Pennsylvanians in particular for clinging
bitterly to their guns and their God.

The mass casualty incidents at a number of Chattanooga military
instillations are being categorized in certain instances as “terrorist
inspired” rather than as an act of terrorism per say. Is this a
semantics game designed to deny the attacked and their families benefits
and recognition as was the decision in categorizing the Fort Hood
attack as “workplace violence”?

Did Sojourners Magazine write gushing reviews of the minor
character Ms. Marvel when the character was a White blond rather than a
Central Asian Muslim?

“Christian” lesbian Chely Wright proclaims that straight White men
lack empathy and kindness. And one supposes it was a humanitarianism
that motivated the aspiring jihadist to open fire at a number of
military facilities in the Chattanooga area taking the lives of four
marines.

Isn't saying that the Confederacy fought only for slavery akin to
saying that Martin Luther King marched for racial equality solely for
the purposes of making it easier to facilitate extramarital affairs with
White women?

According to Rick Warren, God only speaks to those that determine
beforehand to do whatever it is that God asks. But what about the
examples of Moses that struck the rock rather than speak to it for the
purposes of extracting water and Jonah who ran away from Nineveh
intentionally upon being instructed to go that reprobate metropolis?

The same ones chastising those for suggesting a person armed at the
church might have prevented a greater loss of life at the Charleston
Church are the same ones that will heap condemnation upon you if you
stop going to church for fear of copycat violence.

Regarding the prepackaged meals Jim Bakker is peddling advertised
to get the customer through the Tribulation. Are these dehydrated? What
good will they do you when the water is turned to blood as prophesied
during the Apocalypse?

John Kasich said, “If we weren't born to serve others, what were we
born to do? Hopefully along with that admonition it was also explained
that there is nothing wrong with financial compensation in exchange for
such service, that service can be done on behalf of one's own family,
and that most of the service rendered ought to take place within the
context of one's paid employment. Usually when public figures talk like
this, it is in defense of the compulsory COMMUNITY service scam.

Speaking before a convention of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars,
President Obama assured that the Chattanooga jihadist would not
fundamentally transform the American way of life. Obama has pretty much
reserved that role for himself.

Chris Christie insists that he is the only candidate to have
prosecuted terrorists. As governor, he was also quite lax in his stance
against Islam.

Media propagandists are insisting that peddling fetal organs is an
act of generosity rather than of commerce. So if a fugitive slave hunter
engaged in that profession to uphold the law and the good of the social
order, they ought to be applauded and only condemned if they were
engaged in the pursuit in the hopes of securing the bounty?

If dealing in prenatal human organs is placed along the moral
spectrum somewhere between neutral and positive, why can't someone make a
profit from such transactions? Doesn't the revulsion most feel at this
shocking news testify just how wrong this biomedical development happens
to be?

It was suggested in a Christian podcast that, if children talk more
about Jurassic World than the “things of God”, this is possibly a
symptom that they might be slipping into idolatry. But could it also be
that God designed children to be more fascinated by dinosaurs than
potluck suppers or lengthy meditative expositions where they are ordered
to sit with heads bowed and eyes closed pretending to have a
conversation where honestly the deity does not respond directly? Call me
a heathen, but a T-rex battling it out with a velociraptor is just more
exciting than a lengthy exposition on someone's mechanic's accountant's
taxidermist's bunion removal.

It was observed in a Christian podcast on media consumption that,
if children watch a movie Friday night, in all likelihood they will want
to watch a movie on Saturday night as well. And the problem is? Most
people are awake between 12 and 18 hours per day. Does all of that time
need to be focused on direct Bible study or related religious exercises?
This is an especially valid question if they are going to get a big
dose of church the next day anyway?

On The Five, Juan Williams denounced the documentarian exposing
Planned Parenthood organ harvesters on the grounds that the video
politicizes a profoundly personnel matter. So did he denounce the
businesses that penalized Paul Deen for verbalizing with her husband a
profound trauma in the privacy of their own home?

In an address to the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, President Obama
spoke of the urgent need to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental
illness. But in undermining the Second Amendment rights of those needing
counseling as they transition back into civilian life and now proposing
to take the protections of the Second Amendment from the elderly
requiring clerical assistance to navigate the no doubt complicated
Social Security system, hasn't his regime erected barriers that will
spark a hesitancy among the afflicted that might otherwise seek help to
return to optimal emotional well being.

It is claimed that murder rates along the border are less than
American cities elsewhere. Is the media insisting that Black people are
more prone to homicide than Hispanics?

Hillary Clinton points out that one of her merits and qualification
for the presidency is that she is a woman. But has it been proven
beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hillary doesn't posses a Y chromosome or
a penis?

Apparently “good Catholic” Nancy Pelosi doesn't have much of a problem with organ harvesting.

A headline announced that Jeb Bush calls upon the GOP to embrace
Latinos and African Americans. That translates as the patrician
establishmentarian demands Whites beneath his class to be self-loathing
and to applaud increases in crime and welfare checks.

In his book “Swords Into Plowshares”, Ron Paul writes, “Religion
has been hijacked by nonbelievers and used to support war.” However,
Christianity does not equal pacifism. The title of Paul's book is itself
the hijacking of a Biblical principle for, lack of a better term,
secular purposes. The reference is in regards to a characteristic of the
Millennial Kingdom directly implemented by Christ Himself upon His
return.. It is not something humans can ever achieve on their own no
matter how pious or even redeemed they might be.

Those opposed to the Trump campaign for presidency have
hypothesized that, should the billionaire win the office, he might apply
his particular brand of verbal pugilism to various world leaders. As if
the bowing and scraping of Obama's multi-year worldwide apology tour
are wracking up an impressive number of foreign policy victories. Isn't
an aversion to articulating the truth bluntly on the part of the
diplomatic establishment responsible in good measure for the mess that
the world is in today?

Mike Huckabee is being condemned for suggesting that Obama's
Iranian nuclear agreement could possibly lead Israelis to the doors of
the ovens. The allusion was to the horrors of the Holocaust. Elites have
admonished that one should only refer to the Holocaust when referring
to the Holocaust, meaning it should not be referenced in connection to
other concerns or developments. So if we aren't to draw any lessons from
the Holocaust applicable to other situations, what is the point of
studying the Holocaust? Are the global elites reluctant for the average
citizen to contemplate the role of these shadowy rulers in what is
considered one of history's greatest atrocities so as to truly make good
on the imperative of “Never again”?

So if precedent has been set that memorials that offend the
sensibilities of riotous and subversive minorities can be vandalized
with impunity, why is the Satanic idol on display in Detroit worthy of
respect? And if Satanists view morals such as respect for property as an
unacceptable imposition upon might making right, on what grounds can
they invoke Christian principles should something disagreeable take
place from the perspective of those embracing the most outright form of
heathenism?

A fatal stabbing occurred at a church in Urbana, MD. Police assure
that the suspect was taken into custody without incident. But what about
the assault that led to the injury of a woman and the murder of her
husband? Isn't that an “incident”? So apparently violence is only
appalling when directed against law enforcement. Will we now be
subjected to continually social conditioning on the need to surrender
our cutlery for the good of the COMMUNITY or do the victims
insufficiently resemble the President?

In speaking about vandalism to a Confederate memorial near the
court house in Rockville, MD, a government propagandist admonished that
the statue was no longer appropriate because it is “no longer 1913” when
the statue was erected. Using that logic, in the year 2913 if the
prevailing consensus is that Blacks should be slaves and Jews ought to
be herded into camps, one really doesn't have much of a moral leg to
stand on.

In a podcast discussion on the infantilization of American youth,
it was suggested that young people need to learn to serve. Fair enough.
But as the discussion progressed, this Christian leader spoke of sending
youth to camps where they would learn this lesson by shoveling manure.
Would this labor be compensated at a fair market wage? If not, this just
sounds like a scheme to swindle free labor out of people by slapping on
a pious label to spiritually manipulate dimwitted parents. This
Christian leader in his tirade said that, in his day, the church youth
were sent to these religious work camps deep in the woods all summer to
learn “how to die to self”. I don't know about back then in the
particular instance referred to, but these days that is increasingly
becoming a euphemism for being conditioned out of saying “no” to the
carnal advances the youth pastor is probably making on those under his
oversight in the shower house.

The Obama Regime is proposing that those that need assistance
navigating the Social Security administration should be denied their
Second Amendment Rights. Once the Second Amendment is taken away from
such individuals, what protections will remain to prevent the Regime
from handing down a related decree that those needing assistance
navigating Social Security should also be denied healthcare because such
individuals in decline are of diminishing social utility?

On The Five, Geraldo admonished that researchers were almost
morally obligated to poke through the remains of discarded fetuses
because the cures to horrible diseases such as cancer might be contained
within such bio-slurry. To not take advantage of such material at hand
would otherwise be wasteful. Didn't Dr. Mengle make similar arguments?

In a podcast on the infantlization of the nation's youth, it was
suggested that parents and the church had something of a Christian
obligation to shatter the dreams of children that might not be good at
something that they otherwise enjoy. But won't life kick them in the
teeth soon enough anyway? Wouldn't it be wiser parenting to ensure that
the youth have character enough to settle for a job they don't care for
that they will be miserable at when what they had hoped for doesn't pan
out?

In a discussion on the infantilization of the culture, it was
suggested that those that cannot do so by human standards shouldn't be
allowed to sing special numbers in church. But how is that attitude
markedly different than those that select leaders on the basis of
appearance or physical stature? If the person's heart is in the right
place, what's so wrong with allowing them such a ministry from time to
time? How do we not know God might enjoy that more than a highly trained
performance artist? The churches certainly don't mind taking money from
those not deemed “good enough”. If those falling into such a category
feel that they don't have a place in ministry, would those insisting
that everything presented in church must be “just so”, would they rather
loose the individual to another congregation? Will these churches that
pat themselves on the back for having done a righteous thing in their
eyes by crushing someone's dreams also assist the individual in finding a
ministry that the person finds spiritually satisfying other than
dropping money into the collection plate?

Regarding these hardline disciplinarians and even freemarketeers
that constantly gripe about peewee athletic leagues that give all the
participants some kind of ribbon whether they are winners or not. Why
shouldn't such a child receive some kind of recognition for showing up
when there is nothing saying that they even have to show up in an era of
expanded entertainment and recreational options. Because if these kids
don't feel appreciated and recognized, what's to prevent them from just
staying home and either playing X-Box or watching the hundreds of hours
of quality on demand dramatic programming on TV?

If Donald Trump is a sexist pig of the first order according to
Rolling Stone Magazine, doesn't that make the women that romped in the
sack with him willingly big time whores?

Regarding reports of Taliban leader Mullah Omar's alleged demise,
fuss is being made that he had only one eye. Would it have been pointed
out if he had an undescended testicle or suffered from erectile
dysfunction? Is his ocular disability any more relevant than Hillary
Clinton's bosom starting to whither and sag?

The Georgetown Safeway sponsoring a chicken wing eating contest
will probably during the holiday season guilt-trip shoppers into
contributing to a variety of homeless rackets.

It is warned that, following the death of Cecil the Lion, the next
highest ranking male will likely slaughter Cecil's cubs in the attempt
to manipulate the females into mating. So basically a pride of lions
operates like an inner city ghetto.

From the classified ads in an issue of Analog Magazine, it seems
most science fiction conventions run nearly $100 per ticket. Some nerds
must be raking in the money from somewhere. $10 for a movie ticket makes
me think twice as to whether or not I actually want to see a particular
film.

On Gotham, if Detective Gordon's mentally unhinged wench Barbara
doesn't turn out to be the mother of his daughter Barbara Gordon who
goes on to become Batgirl and he does not marry another woman named
“Barbara”, both Detective Gordon and whoever eventually marries Jim
Gordon have got to be crazier than the Joker and the Riddler put
together.

Instructive. Huckabee's references to the Holocaust are condemned
as distasteful but the remarks of the Iranian leadership expressing
their desire for another of these atrocities are overlooked and
downplayed.

Hillary Clinton pointed out that Planned Parenthood provides health
services for women. And the Nazi party also provided soup lines for the
destitute and recreational enrichment programs for youth.

A bill before consideration in Congress would still fund women's
health services through Planned Parenthood. Would a men's organization
that assisted men in evading their child support obligations continue to
receive funds to provide men's genital health? Perhaps an even more
pertinent question to ask would be is there any organization funded by
Congress specifically for the purposes of keeping men's plumbing
pristine and functional? After all, why is it less of a tragedy for a
man to die of pestilence-ridden privates than a woman?

Humus is just something for beatniks thinking themselves too good
for dip to put on their chips or whatever it is such deadbeats snack on.

On Fox Business network's “Kennedy”, Greg Gutfeld disdainfully
sneered at those that pursued self-publishing. Not all of us can whore
our books shamelessly during appearances on Fox News. Therefore, we use
the technologies at out disposal to promulgate our wit and observations.
In this instance, how is Gutfeld appreciably different than the Pope
that the pundit badmouths for opposing a variety of innovations made
available through the development of the free market system?

Regarding these celebrities that admonish how $50,000 to hunt Cecil
the Lion should have instead gone to charity. It is lamentable that
such a creature was killed solely for sport (as with this catch I am
sure 7 Eleven could have improved the quality of their hot dogs). But in
terms of charitable donations and frugal living, are you going to tell
me that these bigshots eat ramen noodles, purchae their clothes at Good
Will, and drive used automobiles pushing 20 years old? I doubt their
vacations consist of trips across state lines to purchase discount
outdated cereal.

If the Republicans that received campaign contributions a number of
election cycles previous from the hunter that slew Cecil the Lion are
being viewed as partially responsible for this act of felinicide, does
that mean that every campaign receiving donations on behalf of Planned
Parenthood or the organization's operatives should be viewed as culpable
in the infant organ-harvesting scandal?

If it would be inappropriate for a heterosexual man to sleep
overnight in a tent with Girl Scouts, why is it appropriate for a
homosexual man to sleep overnight in a tent with Boy Scouts?

In a sermon on the dangers of schism in the Body of Christ, Pastor
James Cooley admonished that believers are not to let those outside of
the church know what is going on inside the church particularly in
regards to disagreements and conflicts. So does that include abuse
allegations and scandals? Even if not mentioned by name unless the
transgressions rise to the level of the criminal, why shouldn't the
public be warned that there are some churches that strive to honor the
freedom found in Christ while others attempt to stifle such with
elaborate system of pious-sounding man-made rules?

If the lives of military personnel cannot be protected with
firearms amidst a violent assault, then why should that of the
President's.

In an oration justifying the imposition of an environmental
dictatorship, Preisdent Obama insisted that Black children were more
likely to suffer from asthma. Maybe that is because their parents are
less likely to get off their lazy backsides to clean house.

Regarding those such as Bob Barker that insist that the death
penalty should be imposed upon the hunter involved in the slaying of
Cecil the Lion, do these extremists call for a similar punishment for
PETA operatives that have been caught in the questionable terminations
of animals under the organization's care?

Pastor David Platt suggested that one should not think of small
groups so much as a class imparting information but rather that a group
is there to be aware of your besetting sins. All the more reason not to
participate or instead to keep church members at a distance. Especially
when in the same sermon one of the punishable sins included was
cynicism.

As part of an accountability group, the president of the Southern
Baptist Mission's Board David Platt suggests writing up a sheet of
questions. Included among these was how well you have loved your wife
this week. So long as you aren't loving on someone else's wife or
backhanding yours across the face, is this really any of a small group's
business?

On “Your World with Neil Cavuto”, a Democratic Party propagandist
applauded a California municipality that appointed two illegals to
positions on a civic advisory board. The hypothesized that we aren't
going to be able to exclude these individuals from society anyway. So if
the Chinese Red Army landed an invasion force along the West Coast,
should the nation automatically surrender territory since, in the words
of this political strategist, “we [would] have to learn to work
together.”

It is claimed that Republicans and allied conservatives exposing
Planned Parenthood's organharvesting side hustle are engaged in a war
against women. If this is what a number of women are engaged in, why
shouldn't they be warred upon? Should child support enforcement be
curtailed since such laws are as much about penalizing men as they are
about providing for children?

A Christian broadcaster denounced online friendships as shallow and
superficial. How is that markedly different than most offline
relationships?

Monday, August 03, 2015

In a Youtube video, a pastor claimed that church hopping is a sin because it is God that places individuals in particular churches.

Then who is to say that it is not God that prompts individuals to go elsewhere?

As justification for his position condemning the practice of going from church to church, the pastor invoked the passage in Matthew 7:23 where Christ says, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

The pastor insisted that the issue was not that those surrendered to eternal damnation did not believe in Christ as Lord and Savior but rather that these workmen were ministering where they had not been assigned.

The pastor further taught that the individual believer is not cleared to find another church until God tells the PASTOR that it is time for you to leave.

And I guess, when the pastor tells you to drink the funny-smelling Kool Aid that burns as it goes down, you are expected to remain in the church for that as well.

Contrary to this podcast under consideration, if you leave one church to go to another, you shouldn't have to give an elaborate reason why.
